So followed a recipe on Tasty but ventured out a bit. My wife is from Mexico so I am working on perfecting my taco game. The marinade I modified was mainly vinegar, pineapple juice, ancho powder, paprika, and chili powder. You slice up the pork shoulder and then putting it on a spit then cook on the oven well I decided to do it on my WSM rotisserie. Tompo is usually vertical on a spit well I figured I would go horizontal. Things I learned. Using wood chunks in the WSM was a bit too much smoke for me. It gets more smoked because it is sliced on the spit. So next time just charcoal. The other thing is stop the rotisserie because you can cut yourself trying to carve off meat while it is spinning. Also the original recipe calls for Anchiote paste which I thought about making but seemed to always have like 10 ingredients.

Nice compromise I have found in such cases is to use the Oak, Hickory, or Mesquite charcoal briquets. Too much smoke can be bad, but some smoke flavor is always desirable, at least in my opinion. They impart flavor n magic, even on a direct cook.

I did 1 tbs of paprika, 1 tbs acho chile powder, 1 tbs cumin, 1 tbs of salt, 1 tbs pepper, 1 tbs garlic powder, 1 tbs onion powder, 1 cup of pineapple, and then added vinegar to taste about 3/4 cup. Marinated for couple hours. The tasty recipe used achiote, which I think I might have to try this weekend.
